A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Well, Jack Alpha, from "The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances" arrives after Original Captain Jack Harkness has died, right? That's why he takes his name.
Possibly, although I can't help but wonder if he's not in the UK a day or two before taking action -- he has his ship to hole up in, after all -- which would mean there are three simultaneous Jacks for a few hours. Otherwise, there are two sets of two Jacks. Which, actually, is more likely.

I thought those were the Thatcher years?
Bwah!
Also, wait, what do you mean two sets of two Jacks? Our Jack Alpha and Dead Original Jack, and Our Jack Gamma and Hot Dancing About To Lead Into Death Original Jack?
eta: No, you must mean Our Jack Beta and Not Dead Yet Original Jack, who were not actually in proximity to each other. Right?
Not that Original Jack had multiple instances. Just that he was in the timeline simultaneously with multiple instances of Our Jack.

I think he means that Jack Beta (long-lived Jack) overlapped, at different times, with both Jack Alpha and Jack Gamma.
It's nice that Jack's respect for the timeline outweighed his desire to have sex with himself. You know it crossed his mind.
There's still the missing two years to play with. Maybe he retconned himself!
Oh, okay.
And also, bwah!
For a moment the other day (when I was looking for Jack/Ianto vids, sue me) I forgot about Original Jack and saw Jack/Jack and thought it was a timeline sex with himself thing. Imagine my relief when I remembered.

And thus were born a thousand fanfics ...
And by born, do you mean mpreg?
Let's not forget, Torchwood has canonical mpreg...
